The sequel to Pharaoh's Tomb, this Nevada Smith adventure takes place 6 months later. This time you're searching for Viking treasure in the arctic. Gameplay is virtually identical to Pharaoh's Tomb. This time Nevada has infinite lives, which is good because the levels are much harder. There are 20 levels in each episode, but you have some flexibility in which order you complete the levels because this game adds a map screen. Version 1.0 was published by Micro F/X Software, before George Broussard merged his operations with Scott Miller's Apogee Software. Version 2.0 was published by Apogee. There are 4 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version. Complete version history:
